2014 Cotic?

Thinking about getting a new frame and I keep coming back to the Cotic Soul (been around the houses with BFe, Slackline, Breath, RC104, Kili Flyer Cromo), but it's new model time and I wonder if I should wait to see what Cotic have to offer for 2014?

I've just read the e mail that Cy sent out today and was just pondering, does anyone really run 160mm forks on a hardtail? Personally i just can't get on with hardtails with more than 100mm of travel, and to be honest 90% of my riding doesn't warrant more anyway, i wouldn't knock anyone who was using 160mm but it seems excessive to me. Thoughts (about this!).

It's got nothing to do with me & I have no interest in leaking any info.

Fair enough.

If we're playing a guessing game I'll go for "moving (at least some) production to the UK". I think that Cy has said that he'd be interested in doing this in the past, shipping costs are only going to increase and, as we can see from this thread, most of the frustration from customers is not about the bikes but about problems with supply, so it would make sense.
